my someday home

Downstairs, oak parquet flooring, built-in shelving, and rimu wood cabinetry create a warm work environment.

If you're looking to recreate this look in a home bathroom, Cooper thinks its best for small spaces. "Keep it contained if you are living with it every day," he says. "It's fun to go all out in a small powder room or secondary bathroom you don't use all the time. In your primary bathroom, you will likely get sick of it if you push it too far."

In the guest bathroom, Givone installed a hand-chiseled sink made of 17th-century marble quarried from the hills outside of Rome.

A one-of-a-kind fireplace made from concrete and natural stone complements earthy floor tiles and corrugated-steel wall panels.

A brick-clad wall in the principal bathroom is topped with a protective coat of tiny, glossy beads.

Fujimori has an affinity for building structures that appear to be perched precariously: His charred cedar-clad Guest House seems to balance on a sliver of a wall.

Neutral boucle fabric covers the built-in seat covers, syncing with the window shade.

Wardrobe cabinets from Reform stand on either side of the fireplace, maximizing storage. 

Diana's ceramics and the couple's art collection add small pops of color to the neutral unit.

The pegs in the master bedroom can be rearranged to alter the layout of shelves, allowing flexible storage options.

One of the owners steps out on the new terrace with one of the many household animals. “We have moved the chicken coop so we can enjoy their busy, chooky lives,” they explain.

The old garage was transformed into a studio that features salvaged windows from the main house.

Warm, earth-toned furnishings contrast the guesthouse’s primarily white palette.
